Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a young man named Rob Nur who was born into a royal family. He was handsome and handsome.
Rob Nur did not want to inherit the throne. He wanted to cross the desert and go to Kucha to learn singing and dancing.
When he reached the Tarim Basin, he lost his way and fainted from hunger, thirst and fatigue.
On the verge of death, he was rescued by Milan, the daughter of the God of Winds. This Milan girl was innocent, lovely, beautiful and kind. The two fell in love at first sight, fell in love with each other and were inseparable.
When the wind god discovered that his daughter was in love with a mortal, he was so angry that he blinded Rob Nur's eyes, broke Milan's legs, and blew them to the deserts to the east and west, punishing them from being able to see each other for life.
The two of them are far apart and cannot meet each other. It is precisely because of missing each other like knives that they make them grow old. The beautiful girl Milan misses her lover every day. Overnight, her black hair turns white, and her rolling tears gather into a river and merge into a crystal lake.
Ze, this is the legendary Luo Bu Bo.
Later, the girl from Milan became ill with longing and passed away. That night, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the lakes dried up, and the beautiful Lop Nur disappeared, leaving only the silver sand all over the ground. Legend has it that the silver sand all over the sky and the earth became
It is the girl's white hair. This allusion is called tears like Milan, white hair and silver sand.
Tears like Milan, white hair and silver sand, a very poignant love story, but this poignancy is just something people use to deceive themselves. In fact, this poignancy is indeed man-made.
At this time n→, w⊥ww. It was already October. It was in this golden autumn October that Han Kongque and others stood on the bridge of the Tarim River in the Bayin and Guoleng (Mongolian) Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang.
Looking around, the Populus euphratica forests on both sides of the Tarim River look like a green Great Wall.
Populus euphratica is called "Tokelak" in Uyghur, which means "the most beautiful tree".
Populus euphratica forest is a natural refuge and habitat for livestock. More than a hundred species of wild animals such as horses, deer, wild camels, goose-throated antelopes, and egrets thrive in the forest. The forest is also accompanied by a variety of sandy plants such as licorice and camel thorns. They
Together they form a special ecological system, creating oases one after another, raising more than 7.5 million children of all ethnic groups in southern and Xinjiang.
Such an important Populus euphratica forest died in large areas due to the drying up of the lower reaches of the Tarim River.
In 1958, there were 7.8 million acres of Populus euphratica forest in the Tarim River Basin, which had been reduced to 4.2 million acres by 2002. With the sharp decline of Populus euphratica forest, the land desertification area in the Tarim River Basin increased from 66% to 84%.
"The sand advances and the people retreat" has become a reality in the lower reaches of the Tarim River. As far as Luo and Buzhuang, Kuruk and Qom merge with the Taklimakan Desert, the second largest desert in the world, frantically devouring the green Great Wall in the gap and passing through it.
197 parts of the 218 National Highway have been buried in the desert.
After Han Kongque and the others walked 200 kilometers westward along the Tarim River, the Green Great Wall suddenly disappeared from their eyes.
The Populus euphratica forest on both sides of the Tarim River has become the same color as the sandy land on both sides. Due to lack of water, the hundreds of kilometers of green Great Wall collapsed in the thirst.
The Populus euphratica forest, which is said to be immortal for thousands of years, finally turned into a withered "mummy" after enduring thirst for more than 20 years. The strange-shaped dead branches and the body that refused to fall after death seemed to indicate that Populus euphratica was in the final moments of its life.
The struggle and pain, but also like reaching out to someone for help!
Moving forward, Han Kongque and the others had reached the edge of Luo Bu Nur.
Zhang Mei, who came with her, told Han Kongque that if there is not enough preparation, he will not be able to move forward. If he wants to enter Luo Bu Nur, he must prepare enough food and water.
Han Kongque and others got out of the car and turned their attention to Luo Bubo, who was close at hand.
Standing on the edge of Luo Bu Nur, you will suddenly feel that the desert is the exposed chest of the earth. The earth has taken off its coat here, exposing its skin, muscles and bones.
Standing on the edge of Luo Bu Bo, you can clearly see the arrangement of the ribs. Seeing the traces of the vicissitudes of life, you will feel the pain and helplessness hidden deep in this chest.
Can Luo Bu Bo regain its former vitality?
Han Peacock looked at this former desert pearl and couldn't help but ask himself.
This place is now a desperate place on earth, a sea of death, and all of this is because of the lack of water, and where Han Peacock is, the most indispensable thing is water.
At this moment, everyone stopped talking and laughing.
The huge piece of yellow sand deeply hurt their hearts and made them all feel heavy. Before coming here, everyone knew that this was the former pearl of the prairie, and there once was a beautiful fairy lake here.
But now, all they see is desolation.
Thirty years is just a blink in the long river of history. The lake with dense poplar trees and clear water 30 years ago disappeared from their eyes at this moment.
The perpetrators of this tragedy are humans!
The tragedy has not stopped, and the same tragedy is still happening in other places.
The world-famous inland lakes Qinghai Lake and Haihu Lake have dropped by 8.8 meters in the past 50 years, an average of 1 meter every 6 years, and the land has extended more than 10 kilometers into the lake.
Gansu, Sudun and Huangyueyaquan, which have not been buried by thousands of years of wind and sand, have in recent years been reduced to 5,397 square meters from 11,652 square meters in the 1950s due to overexploitation of local groundwater. The water depth is only a few feet.
Drying up...
All this is man-made!
Qinghai Lake should be saved, Crescent Spring should be saved, and all places that are about to become deserts due to human intervention should be rescued. But those places are not something that Han Kongque can intervene in if he wants, because they have not yet become a desert in the world.
Others want to possess it.
But here is different. This is already the Sea of Death. This kind of place is already a desperate place in the world, and as long as he operates carefully, he can occupy this place before everyone can react.
Therefore, the purpose of Han Kongque coming here is not only to hunt for treasures, but also to see if there is any water here. If there is water, maybe he can turn this place into a fairy lake again.
If this thing really happens, it will be a great achievement. After all, it turns out that there is a lake covering an area of 200,000 square kilometers.
"Boss, boss." Just when Han Kongque was looking at the desert in the distance in a daze, Huangshan pushed him.
"What?" Han Peacock asked.
Huang Shandao: "Boss Zhang asked you if you really want to enter Luo Bu Nur."
Han Kongque looked at Zhang Mei beside Huangshan. He smiled a little sheepishly and said: "I was shocked by the scenery here, so I was distracted just now."
"It's okay. If this place turned out to be a desert, no one would care. You have already understood the situation here before coming here, so that's why you are so shocked, right?" Zhang Mei said indifferently.
Han Kongque nodded. He had indeed done a lot of homework and knew that this place was indeed a treasure. It not only contained jade, but also crystal mines and the ruins of an ancient city buried by the long river of history.
The most important thing is this ancient city. Through some past records, Han Kongque knew that it was an ancient city that had not been excavated, and his interest in jade was definitely not as high as archeology.
"Our destination is not far from the ancient city ruins. I think you should know the ancient city ruins, right?" Zhang Mei smiled and directly stated their destination.
Han Kongque was stunned, but his reaction was also very quick. He also said directly: "Of course I know this, and I have made sufficient preparations. If you are just worried about logistical supplies, you can rest assured. I will not take advantage of everyone."
Life is a joke.”
Zhang Mei took a deep look at Han Peacock and said, "As long as you are mentally prepared."
"Don't worry, since we dare to come here, we have naturally made enough preparations, not only in terms of materials, but also in psychological preparations." Han Kongque said.
"Okay then! Let's move on, you just need to keep up with our convoy." Zhang Mei said no more, turned around and returned to her car.
Soon the convoy started again. Sitting in the car, Huang Shan said a little doubtfully: "Boss, are there still unknown dangers here?"
"You are very smart! You can guess all this." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Huangshan stared and looked at Qian Mingyuan, who smiled bitterly and said: "Most of the dangers here are legends. Although there are never any groundless claims, those legends are too exaggerated to be accepted."
Han Kongque waved his hand and said: "I came here unexpectedly this time. I have already planned to explore some places. Even if we don't meet Qian Lao, our route back to the inland will definitely pass through here. If it is
That way, I would enter here to explore by myself, and now that you are here, safety will naturally be more guaranteed."
Knowing that Han Kongque had a plan, Huangshan didn't say much more, but he still wanted to know where the danger came from in this desert.
Han Kongque naturally knew what Huangshan was thinking, so he said: "The danger here is not the harsh natural conditions, but the danger from unknown areas. It may be toxic gases, poisonous plants, or unknown Jedi."
, but the greatest possibility is still an unknown creature."
"Is it all unknown?" Huangshan asked with doubt.
Qian Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Lop Nur is a place full of mystery. Chinese scientist Peng Jiamu and explorer Yu Chunshun disappeared and died there one after another. This is a restricted area for life. This is also a mysterious and terrifying endless Gobi Desert."
Here, there is not a single blade of grass or a stream, and the summer temperature is as high as 70°. There is not a single bird in the sky, and no bird dares to cross. People who come here never mention what they encountered when they leave here.
So the danger we face is the unknown."
"There are so many unknown places for us. Why is there danger here? If we investigate more, we should be able to collect a lot of information here, right?" Huangshan was still puzzled.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Things are not as simple as you think. Have you heard of the nine strange events of Luo Bubo?"
